O is for ORANGE and assorted OTHER ODDITIES

Orange is my favorite color. It has always been my favorite which doesn’t work well when picking the color of a room and might make my skin a little sallow in a top, but it calls to me. I’m also pretty fond of the orange fruit.

Some other O’s in my life …

I was born in October, right around Halloween. This made for great cakes and one memorable birthday party, complete with haunted house in the cellar.

My birthstone is the Opal. Supposedly, it’s bad luck to wear opals if you weren’t born in October. Good thing I don’t have to worry about that as they are one of my favorite gems.
